What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Tinter]

I can confirm that the Stinger is a very LONG car by accidentally closing the garage door on the edge of the rear bumper.
Fortunately a little car polish removed any scratches and my new door that had been fitted came with a soft seal saving the day.
Got to be the luckiest Stinger owner going and next time I’ll be more taking notice of the length.

Iv'e also purchased the M&S front and side splitters.Others have also advised for me to get the mud flaps, I see you have all of them on your car.
Looks good, did you have to take much off the side splitters for them to fit behind the mud flaps ?

Thanks Flameangel!
I did not modify the side skirts, I did not want to "mess" them up. I instead cut the mud flaps to fit around the skirts. For some reason, I had no problem with the idea of "messing" up the mud flaps...

The DRLs are LED. What are you referring to?

The ones that go in the front wheel vents. I should have pictures later today after the install.

Awesome sticker but you need some swirl removal on your paint and a nice ceramic coat thereafter.

Pick up one of these motion-activated gizmos, and bolt it to the ceiling in your garage. Park the car in it's ideal location, and line the laser dot up so it points at a conspicuous spot like the trailing edge of the hood/bonnet.



Then all you need to do when you drive in is watch the red dot travel up the car until it reaches the trailing edge. Stop there and your car is perfectly positioned, every time - your garage door will never touch the car again. Works for me!

I just use the front distance sensors, once they all go "red" I'm up far enough to close the back door

Thanks to the help from @BertBert2019GT today, DRL's installed and looking perfect! I LOVE them!
Daylight pics do not do the lights justice, I cannot wait to see them in the dark.

Just a quick wash after last week's road trip to Armidale and a few days of city grime and rain. Captured during "golden hour" yesterday.

Why didn't you take pics with your OE DRLs on too? That would look better, imho.

That's a good question. Not sure why I did not have my lights on auto...

Now you can take more pics. And in the evening so that the lights get accentuated. Think "2020 calendar".

I thought DRLs were, well, for the daytime? As in - NOT in the dark? Hopefully they aren't too blinding - I routinely get blinded by people running "too much light" around there. Like high beams on in full traffic, mis-aligned headlights, etc..

Added Akrapovic tips to the Borla exhaust. 51 mm input and 105x75 mm oval out, fits through the stock openings without trimming. Really takes care of the lower RPM reverb tones (drone) inside the cabin. Got them on Aliexpress for $158 shipped DHL.



“Puoe Power” Too legit

From memory if you’re in Park the DRLs turn off, even with the engine running. If you shift to D or R they activate again. Posted about it ages ago in the interesting discoveries thread

Also your car looks great. Helps that you got the best colour avaialble
